Directions

  8. Gently remove the skin from the onion and slice the tip off and place a small slit at the end.
  9. Place the onions in a pan with about ½ cup of water and 2 tablespoons of butter and cover. Simmer for about 25 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside.
  10. Clean and thoroughly dry the mushrooms. Cut the mushrooms in half.
  11. Place 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron frying pan. When the butter stops bubbling, place the mushrooms in the pan to get a slight golden color and remove. Set aside.
  12. Remove the pot from the oven and drain using a colander into another pot.
  13. Make a paste with 3 tablespoons. of flour and 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Whisk the paste into the drained broth then put over a gentle heat and bring to a boil for a second or two.
